3.1 Recommendations for KWS600v3/KIRK Repeater Placement

• In large halls, the KWS600v3/repeater (wall) should be installed vertically in the

middle of the space below the drop ceiling.

• In corridors, the KWS600v3/repeater (wall) should be installed vertically preferably

at corridor intersections where propagation patterns follow the corridor patterns. The

KWS600v3/repeater should point towards the corridor and preferably in the middle

height between the floor and the actual ceiling. In case there are high objects in the

area, the KWS600v3/repeater (wall) should be installed above those objects but still

kept distant from the ceiling.

• The repeater (ceiling) should be installed in the middle of corridors and small rooms.

• In multi-story buildings, KWS600v3 and or repeaters may be installed on opposite

sides of the floors to take advantage of the floor-to-floor coverage. The coverage

design cannot rely entirely on floor-to-floor propagation; each case must be verified

due to variations in local attenuation patterns.

• If the building contains a central open space area with windows to the other areas,

KWS600v3 and or repeaters may be installed in this open space to provide a good

coverage for the rooms in the inner circle on all floors (e.g. hotels).

• If a KWS600v3 and or repeater (wall) hangs vertically on a wall, the RF coverage in

front of the KWS600v3 and or repeaters is twice as large as the coverage at the rear.

• KWS600v3 and or repeaters should not be installed near large metallic objects.

• Reinforced concrete structures have a high attenuation factor inside the building.

They decrease the RF coverage range of the KWS600v3 and or repeaters and therefore

requires a higher number of KWS600v3 and or repeaters in the building. Lighter

types of construction require fewer KWS600v3 since attenuation figures are

considerably lower.

3.2 Deployment of a KIRK Wireless Server 600v3 Multi-Cell

Note: This section only contains deployment information specific to the KWS600v3. For

more information about deployment in general, refer to the Deployment Guide

accompanying the Deployment Kit. The Deployment Guide provides instructions on

how to use the Deployment Kit to determine the most suitable locations for the different

radio units.

As a user moves from one KWS600v3 radio coverage area to another, the call must be

handed over to the next radio unit. To create handover between radio units it is necessary

to establish synchronization chains. For more information about synchronization chains,

refer to “Examples of Synchronization Chains” on page 33. If the synchronization

between radio units is lost, then handover is not possible and ongoing calls will be

terminated.

Note: Each KWS600v3 must be placed within the radio coverage area of at least one other

KWS600v3 or repeater (radio units).
